Sata rubbed the back of his head and gave a sheepish grin. "Yeah. I'm okay. My face just hurts. Sorry to fall in your midst." He said standing and trying to get all the dirt off. If it wasn't one thing, it was another. "I'm Sata by the way. Pleasure to meet ya, and all that nice stuff." He said putting out his hand. Wasn't that how adults greeted other adults? Maybe? Possibly? He didn't know. Oh well. He tried to give his warmest smile... For a fifteen year old that is.

"Better to fall in my midst than to fall on my trident's tips, I would think." She remarked, taking on a subtle smile. "You can call me Meg. It's nice to meet you too." Or was it? Only time would tell, she supposed. She hesitantly gave him her free hand, her grip firm yet gentle. She would have said more, but quite frankly, what was there to say? Margaret quietly hoped that he was more a conversationalist than herself, or that something might happen to break what she felt was a palpable awkwardness. Then again, she was usually rather uncomfortable around people she didn't know.

Jake tensed slightly and put a hand on the hilt of his sword when Daren put his arm over his shoulder. Wait, have all three of them be partners? He didn't particularly lime the way that sounded. He was willing to tolerate having one person as a partner, it was required after all, but any more than that made him uneasy. Having more people you have to rely on simply means that there are more people who can stab you in the back. "Okay, we'll all be partners for now. Though if we find another lone person I'll go be partners with that person. I don't want to leave anyone behind after all." he said with a small smile as he took Daren's hand off his shoulder. Sure he just told a boldface lie, but it was preferable over telling the truth that he didn't want to deal with having the two of them as partners.
Jake nodded at Kyo's words. Agreeing whole-heartedly. "You're buddy here's right. The last thing either of us want is to have to deal with something bigger and badder than this guy here." he nodded his head toward the roasted Death Stalker. He kept his hand on his sword as he followed Kyo. He could hear another set of footsteps following after them. He wasn't sure if it was friend of foe. Guess he'll just let it carry on until the person following them decide to reveal themselves.

((oh my god is Daren really the only one of the four actually into the whole partner thing? with how laid back he is, he really is the Yang of the group. XD ))
"Great! Name's Daren, nice to meetcha." Daren grinned and once again tried holding his hands out to shake as a friendly gesture, once again expecting at least one of them to shake hands properly. Contrary to the relic finding task, they really were here to make friends after all.

Kota kept humming as he pointed a sword at the rustling bushes as a bird flew from them. "Oh, little birdy you shouldn't do that..." He said smiling as he started walking again. He thought to himself about where the other people were and if he'd find his partner. "Well, let's hope they aren't crazy. Whoever they are..." He muttered as he began to hum Moon River again. He sniffed the air and scrunched up his nose smelling the roasted Death Stalker. Someone clearly had to be near by, the smell was rather strong. He smiled and started running towards the smell to see if he could find someone.

Jake saw Daren's outstretched hand and decided that there was no harm in giving a handshake. "Pleasure to meet you Daren." He said, not particularly wanting to give out his name quite yet. The longer he can go without giving out that info the better. "what do you think these relics will look like anyways?"

Shenaiya kept following at a distance but close enough she could still see them. She didn't want to just... Be seen tryingt o be someones partner. She didn't really... Want that to happen... She would have been fine just... Going to the temple by herself. But no... Somewhere her brother was in this forest, and she would not subject herself to being her brother's partner. She loved him and all... But absolutely not...
Sata smiled. "That would have definitely been bad. I'm glad you didn't skewer me when I landed." He said joking. "So, shall we continue to the temple?" He asked her. He was rather curious about everything. She seemed upset about something. That or mistrusting.

Motioning for Sata to lead the way, Meg said, "After you." She would wait ever so patiently if she had to. Her new partner seemed friendly enough, but that didn't mean she trusted him not to screw up. It was better to let him lead, and to let him soak up whatever damage he would undoubtedly bring onto himself.

Kota stopped running at the edge of the tree line and looked out into the clearing where the dead Death stalker was. "Ew....that's a rather vile smell..." He muttered as he started spinning his swords. "Time for a closer look...Better be safe than sorry though..." he said a she toke a deep breath as his swords swung faster. "1-4" He whispered as a large glyph with the number four in the middle opened beneath him giving off a faint indigo light. He fell through the glyph and once he was completely gone it vanished and another one opened next to the burnt death stalker as Kota jumped out of the new glyph before it too vanished. "Woah...I hate that..." He said shaking his head. He looked over at the burnt Grimm and whistled. "My my....what a number someone did on you..." He said as he tapped the corpse with his hand, feeling the heat he began to think. "They still must be close..." He muttered, obviously not noticing anyone near by the corpse. "That smell is going to bring a looot of beasties..." He sighed as he poked it with his sword to make sure it was dead.

Sata smiled as she let him lead. "Hmmm... Now where was it... Maybe this way... Was this north?" He mumbled to himself as he started the way he had been heading the original run. That was until he fell and ran into Meg. He pulled his bow off his back and started walking forwards. Might as well be ready right?

The difference between the good guys and the bad guys
"Who knows but I am willing to bet that atleast a few of them are resting in the temple that I saw when we were being dropped into the forest." Stopping and giving the air a sniff Kyo looked around before continuing on. "I wouldn't go as far as saying that we are partners or buddies yet, maybe acquaintances at a stretch." Kyo chimed in suddenly as he looked over his shoulder at Jake. While he may be willing to protect the two of them saying that they had become friends yet was pushing it to say the least. Seeing as how one decided that the best way to stay out of harms way was to as quick to pull the beasts of the forest to his position as possible friends would definitely be a stretch.
Stopping as they neared a large tree Kyo looked up towards the treetops to see if it looked like the trunk extended past it at all. From what he could tell thru the clutter it did more or less. "Stay here" he said looking back to them for a moment before lunging upwards and starting to scale the tree. He needed atleast some barrings of which way they were heading as blinding walking thru the forest would probably find them hopelessly lost in under an hour.
Is whether they use a human shield or make themselves one.

Not particularly caring if Sata was right or not, Meg followed along at a safe distance. She didn't bother saying anything for the moment being, preferring to instead pay attention to their surroundings. It wouldn't do to be caught unaware by some beast or another, now would it?

'Am I the only here who's actually getting into the whole 'find your partner' thing?' Daren thought to himself with an annoyed pout as he folded his arms and watched Kyo scamper up the tree. "Well, they probably look like...I dunno, relics." he said as if it was a helpful rather than useless fact. "Probably the only things that aren't trees, Grimm, or rocks in this place. And the ruins we're looking for should stick out by virtue of not being trees."

Jake rolled his eyes at Daren's response. That was probably the stupidest thing Jake would hear all day. At least the other guy seemed to have a brain in that head of his. "Thank you for that piece of extremely valuable Intel. Now I know exactly what to look for. It'll be something that looks just like a relic." he said, waiting patiently for the other person to come back down.
He really hoped that he would be able to get another person be his partner so that he wouldn't be stuck with this crew. The party boy was already getting on his nerves, and the other guy might not be so bad but Jake had a feeling that he would try to pry too much into his personal life. Maybe he would get lucky and get to fight some more grim. Fighting had a way of helping Jake loosen up and calm down.

Kota kept investigating the the dead Grimm before hearing howling off in the distance. "Uh ohh..." He said as he hopped off the corpse and gripped his swords tightly. "Perhaps, I should find a partner, or at least get into the trees..." He muttered as he turned and started to walk. "Time to lay a traaaa-!" He almost finished saying before he tripped over a rock and faceplanted once more, sending his hat rolling to the edge of the clearing and the tree line."...Baka..." He grumbled, as he stood up and walked over to retrieve his hat. "Stupid rocks..." He kept grumbling as he bent down to grab it, as he began to straighten himself up he froze. "Ah!...." He gulped as he stared at a group of glowing red eyes. "Yoooou were closer than I thought..." He gulped as he stood up straight and tipped his hat. "Buh-bye!" He spun around and started running in the opposite direction and disappeared into the trees as the eyes moved after him.
